Stoves.

The best time to commence putting
up 4 stove for winter use. Is when it
i taken down in the spring. In re-
moving the pipe. keep each length
and elbow in its order until the ashes
and SCOT inside are entirely removed.
Then commencing with the piece
which entered the chimney. or the
length joining the stove. number each
end Of each length. on the inside,
with chalk. in consecutive order.
Then in the fall there will be no
trouble in fitting. The pipe should
be oiled with sweet or lard oil. Cas-
tor oil will answer by warming, if
lard oil Is not at hand. Russia pipe
especially, is much better protected
by oiling.
Every stove requiring to be moved,
should have 4 platform mounted on
casters. upon which the stove can
stand when not in use. This can be
made by any one capable of driving
nails. Take n good stout grocery
box. Cut off side or end that it may
Just fit under the stove leaving the
legs in place. Nail on again the end
or side removed. also the cover. This
makes a firm. tight box. Purchase
at a hardware store n set of four
swivel castors. A good set, strong
enough to bear the weight of an ordi-
nary stove can be bought for a dollar.
y set of homemade. hard wood
wheels turned in a lathe will answer
nicely. Attach these casters to the
box, having the entire structure about
one-half inch higher than the space
between the stove and zinc. This
just leaves the legs free from the
floor when the stove is on the plat
form. BY raising the stove a little
on one side the platform can be read
lily adjusted, after which a child can
move it anywhere on a level. The
stove should be left on this platform,
until it is again in place in the fall.
This obviates all lifting and, if it be
desirable to black the stove, a week
before 1t is time 10 put it up, it can
readily be rolled out and back.-GOOd

The saddest Days of all the Year

These rules for ho~use-cleaning time
are from the Rural Ne1U Yorker:
Don't open the campaign too early.
Begin with the cellar instead of the
garnet.
Clean closets before rooms.
Clean one rOom at a time, thus
avoiding d~istracting confusion.
If the woodwork of a room needs
repainting and your circumstances are
such that you a afford the outlay,
now is the time TO have it done.
Brush bed springs and inside of
bedsteads with a mixture of quick
silver and white of al egg.
Because you are cleaning there is
no reason why breakfast, dinner and
supper, should not be on time. A lit
tie forethought and extra preparation
of food the day before cleaning will
enable YOU L have your customary
meals without resorting to that unso-
eial makesbift-..a cold bite in the
closet"
Don't De 9Hyise enough to take
down every stove in the house. except
the one in the kitchen, because of a
few warm April days.

In the house of Thomas A. Edison,
at Llewellyn Park, New Jersey, is a
remarkable memento of the late
Mr.. Beecher. The inventors phon-
Ograph for impressing on a soft met
al sheet the u%tterances of the human
voice, and then emitting it again by the
turning of a crank, has never been
put to any very valuable use, and
Edison has only gained from it a
few thousand dollars in royalties
from exhibitors. But he utilized it
to make a collection of famous vote
es. Since he became famous, his
visitors have included hundreds of
celebrities. Instead of asking them
for their autographs, he has, in two
or three hundred instances, request
ed them to speak a few sentences
into a phonOgraph. He has kept
the plates in a cabinet, and OCCASION
ally he runs some of them through
the machine, which sends out the
words exactly as uttered. Edison is
probably the only man who can re-
vive the silenced voice of the great
preacher.

Many a tree which is made a thing
of beauty by the abundance of its
blossoms in spring produces no ripe
fruit in autumn because it shelters a
little army of borers beneath its bark.
Such trees are typical of men whose
professions of faith are full of prom
Use which never fulfil expectation,
because they permit the love of the
world and of worldly practices to in
sinuate itself into their heart as
borers do into the trunks of trees.
Such men sell their hopes of eternal
life for a very insignificant price.
They exchange precious jewels for
worthless pebbles.

A Mothers Influence.

| heard a young man lately in a
conversation, that at once attracted
nv attention, with a girl some wears
his senior, and he stated the fact
that he left the party early because
his mother objected to late hours.
"You ought to cut loose from that
apron string" was her %sneering re-
joinder, and though [ knew the re-
mark would not influence the youth
in question, who was strong of will
and well balanced in Judgment, yet
/ knew, too, that there were many
young men weak-minded enough to
be Influenced by such baneful advice.
How many of the sex have been led
to ruin by the scOrnful tones of
their girl companions, who tempered
with the hottest affections, and lured
them into paths of folly and wicked
ness by just such thoughtless speech
es? Oh, boy, man, think more of
that ''apron string than of the girl
who so sneeringly mentions it, for
every thread of it is pulling you in
the path of right and duty Your
mothers heart is full of love and
devotion, and your a-cquiescence in
her wishes will only bring you honor
and contentment. Shun as o
would a pestilence any girl who
talks that way, for if she does not
respect and revere your mother she
will not make a wife to be desired.
You may trust the judgment of your
parents, though perhaps it seems at
times to be in variance with your
own. But the one who loved and
cared for you through all the help
less years of infancy, who is always
thinking of and praying for your
future, who ponders in her heart
the best way for your we'll being,
her ''apron strings are safe, and
you will not be in any hurry to "cut
loose" from them if you are wise.

Renovating Dresses in Spring.

These useful hints are given by
Catherine Owen, in ". Y. Observer
Pongee silk is supposed by many nev-
er to look so well after washing; but,
if properly treated. it may be made
M again with new added. and the
difference cannot be seen. But. as
usually washed. it is several shades
darker. and sometimes has a stiffness
to it. although it may not have been
starched. This change Of color and
stiffness is due TO its being ironed
wet. Again. a pOngee dress will
come from the laundress covered with
dark spots. This Is where II has
been allowed to dry and then been
..sprinkled down the sprinkllng
shows. The remedy is simply to put
1t again in water. dry it and iron it
when quite dry. Pongee requires no
more washing than a white garment :;
it will bear hard rubbing if necessary.
but it must not be boiled or scalded.
Let it get quite dry, and if You use a
quite hot iron. not hot enough to
SINCE. of course. all the will
come out and the silk will look like
new. The reason it darkens when
il i ironed wet is this If it were put
into boiling water the silk would dark
en- a flannel does. If YOU put a hot
iron on the damp silk YOU convert
what water remains in il into boiling
water: it is thus scalded. \ silk
which has changed color in the wash
may be partially restored by washing
again. Parenthetically, / may re-
mark that this ironing them wet is
the reason gentlemen's white silk
handkerchiefs become yellow with
washing.
Black silk may be sponged with 4
decOction of soap. bark and water, if
very dirty. and hung out 70 dry; or
If only creased and needing to be
freshened, weak bOrax. water or alco-
hol. and where possible, it Is better
pressed by laying pieces smoothly
and passing them through the clothes
wringer screwed very tight. If you
must iron, do it after the silk is dry,
between two damp pieces of muslin
the upper one may better be Swiss,
that YOU may see what you are doing
through it. This is a little more
trouble than ironing the wrong side
of silk. but YOU will be repaid; the
hot iron gives the silk a paper-like
feeling above all, never iron silk
wet, or even when very damp.
Satin may be cleaned by sponging
lengthwise-never across the width,
with benzine. if greasy. or alcohol, or
bOraX water; this will not be injured
by direct contact with iron press on
the wrong side. Black cloth NAV be
spOnged with ammonia and water. an
ounce of rock ammonia to a wine bot
tie Of water, or liquid household m
monia- diluted very much, may be
used. Black cashmere may be wash
ell in bOraN water, and as indeed may
navy blue. 1t should be rubbed only
between the hands. not on a board.
and the water only pressed, not twist
ell. out. Each width folded in four
a smoothly as possible. and run
through the wringer, then opened and
hung up TO dry. is the best way.
Cashmere 50 treated. if it Is of good
quality. will look like new.

Wishes are tests of character. They
indicate the objects to which the af-
fections are surrendered. Ones out
ward life may be conventionally up
right, while the heart is secretly
cherishing wishes for sinful indul-
gences. and thereby passing through
an inward process Of estrangement
from God. How necessary it Is,
therefore, that one should constantly
cry, 'sCleanse thou me from secret
faults, o God"

Keep Your Friends.-People who
have warm friends are healthier, hap
pier than those who have none. A sin
gle friend is atreasure wOrthmore than
gold or precious stones. Money can
buy many things, good and evil. All
the wealth of the world could not
buy a friend or pay you for the loss
of one. II have only wanted one
thing to make me happy" Hazlitt
writes "but wanting that, have
wanted every thing" And again,
my heart, shut up in a prison
house of this rude clay, has
never found, mol will it ever find a
heart to talk to-" We are the weak
est of spendthrifs if we let a friend
drop off through ~inattention, or let
one push away another, or if we hold
aloof because of one petty jealousy, or
needless or roughness. Would yon
throw away a diamond because it
pricked you? One good friend is not
to be weighed against the jewels of
earth.
To everything beneath the sun
there comes a last day-and of all
futurity this is the only portion of
time that can In all cases be infallibly
predicted. Let the sanguine then
take warning, and the disheartened
take courage for to every JOY and to
every sorrow, to every hope and to
every fear, there will come a last
day and the man ought so to live
by foresight that, while he learns in
every state to be content, he shall in
each be prepared for another, what
ever the other may be,

from his own self defense:
